The Angmering polka appears in one line of an article on Sussex ghosts by the local historian Peter Benner. He notes that some well documented hauntings are manifested by sound, and gives three examples of ghostly music: the monkish choir at Poling near Arundel, the lone singer at Didling, and the phantom polka performer at Angmering.
That is the whole of the record found. The article does not say who heard the music, where in the village, or when. A polka implies the sound would date from the later 19th century or after, when the dance was fashionable in England, but that is an inference, not something the source says.
The entry is kept as a thin pointer to a story that other collections may expand, and is tagged single_report to reflect that. The pin is at village level.
